Tu Ling had just taken a sip of water when Zi Ye brought hot barbecue to Tu Ling's mouth.
But Tu Ling was sick and felt nauseous when he smelled the barbecue.
She pushed the barbecue away and said, "Zi Ye, move the meat away. It smells terrible."
Zi Ye smelled the barbecue in his hand. It was fresh meat, so how could it smell bad?
"But Mistress, you haven't eaten for a day. Please eat something."
"I have no appetite. You all should go down first. You are suffocating the air around me. Also, remove those wooden boards at the entrance to let some fresh air in."
Tu Ling pinched her eyebrows, feeling like she had forgotten something.
Oh, and where are the cubs?
Tu Ling jumped up from the bed and looked towards the water cave. She could only see Lan Jiao's resentful eyes and the cute mermaid cub in his arms.
"Finally you remembered me!"
Tu Ling smiled awkwardly, got off the bed and walked to the water's edge.
Lan Ling opened her cute big eyes, her pupils were brown, and she was holding his little finger in her mouth.
Tu Ling gently took the cub's hand out of its mouth: "Don't put it in your mouth, it's dirty."
The cub seemed to understand Tu Ling's words, and it really didn't move after its hands were taken away.
"What does he eat?"
"Just eat meat."
Tu Ling pointed at the cub in disbelief: "He can eat meat? Can he digest it?"
"You think he's a human cub. Ye Li, get me some meat."
As soon as Lan Jiao spoke, Ye Li immediately brought the meat over.
Tu Ling looked at Ye Li strangely. When did Ye Li become so obedient to others?
Lan Jiao put the meat next to the cub's mouth. The cub opened its mouth and ate the meat without even opening its eyes, then waved its hands in the air, wanting more meat.
"Hey, don't move!"
The cub was too lively. It was like being splashed with oil in Lan Jiao's arms, and it slapped Lan Jiao's face several times.
Lan Jiao couldn't stand it anymore: "Ye Li, quickly take Lan Ling away."
Unexpectedly, the cub stopped moving once Ye Li held it in his arms.
Ye Li's heart melted when he looked at the sweet and soft Lan Ling in his arms.
Thinking about it this way, the decision to exchange with Lan Ling was absolutely the right one. I can get Lan Jiao's help and raise such a cute cub.
Tu Ling secretly asked Lan Jiao: "What did you do to Ye Li? Why does he listen to you so much?"
Lan Jiao was somewhat proud: "He is a snake and I am a mermaid, so naturally he has to listen to me."
Tu Ling sneered: "Forget it, you are a merman, not a mermaid. And if you call Zi Ye, do you think he will listen to you?"
The rainy season is about to pass unknowingly, the rain curtain becomes clearer and clearer, and you can see that the branches above the water are beginning to sprout, showing signs of life.
But the water level gradually receded.
"Aren't you going back yet?"
Lance naturally wouldn't go back. He had finally found Tu Ling and said, "Lan Jiao is staying here, so of course I have to stay here."
Lan Jiao threw the meat in his hand high into the air, and a fish-shaped creature jumped out of the water, bit the meat in mid-air, and quickly fell back into the water. "I'm different from you. I can live in both freshwater and saltwater. What about you? Are you going to live in this tiny puddle for the rest of your life?"
Lance looked at the small puddle in front of him. Indeed, as the former master of the ocean, he could have roamed freely, but now he was limited to this area. But so what, there was Tu Ling here.
"Anyway, wherever Tu Ling is, that's where I'll be."
Tu Ling thought for a moment and said, "But if you continue to live here, there won't be enough salt. Last year, Riyan Yinhen and the others used up all the salt they steamed for you."
Lance pouted. "Then why not change the water? If you don't change the water, you don't have to add salt again."
"I don't want to. Who knows if you have done anything weird in the water." Lan Jiao had a look of disgust on his face, and he could tell at a glance what weird things he was talking about.
"I didn't!"
"Forget it, Lance, you should go back. I can't guarantee that you can survive safely without salt."
Lance was so anxious that he was about to cry, and pearls fell down one after another.
Lan Ling in the water thought it was something delicious, so she secretly dived into the water, circled around Lance and swallowed all the pearls into her stomach. By the time Lan Jiao found out, it was too late.
"Tu Ling! Lan Ling has eaten all of Lance's pearls!" Lan Jiao pulled Lan Ling out of the water and was about to take the pearls out of his mouth, but the little guy went against Lan Jiao and swallowed them without even chewing them.
"Stop crying! It's all your fault!"
Lance stared blankly at Lan Jiao patting the cub's back repeatedly, trying to beat the pearl out.
It should be okay if he eats his pearls, right?
"Tu Ling, come and take a look."
Tu Ling held Lan Ling in her arms and touched her belly carefully. Sure enough, there were many hard little bulges.
This is a lot to eat.
"How is he?" Lan Jiao's eyes were a little red.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Tu Ling found the right position and carefully placed a portal in Lan Ling's body. Then small pearls fell out of the portal, but Tu Ling immediately retracted the portal.
"Have you finished taking them all?"
"No, but if you continue, it will be bad for Lan Ling's health. The rest will naturally come out during bowel movements."
Lan Jiao finally felt relieved: "That's good, I was scared to death."
Lan Ling was completely unaware of the danger that had just happened and was still lying innocently in Tu Ling's arms.
Lance apologized quietly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know he would eat my tears."
"But Mistress, I really don't want to leave. There... I'm the only mermaid left."
Lan Jiao said sinisterly, "How long have you been a mermaid? Do you know how long I've been the only mermaid?"
Tu Ling squatted down and rubbed Lance's head: "I promise, I will steam enough salt in Sun Flame this year. Next year, you can stay here as long as you want, okay?"
Lance's nose felt sore. He knew Tu Ling was doing this for his own good. "Okay then."
"Then you should leave now. Don't let the water level drop before you can swim back to the sea. Swim faster on the way back."
"Um."
After Lance left, Lan Jiao finally felt comfortable in the water cave that belonged to her alone.
"Aba Aba!"
Lan Ling jumped around on the water, and sometimes she would jump over and land on the shore, leaving a hard bump on her head.
"Abba~, wow!"
Every time Lan Ling jumped onto the shore and hurt himself, he would raise his head, tears in his eyes, and wait eagerly for Tu Ling to hug him.
But Tu Ling was busy at the moment and didn't see Lan Ling falling to the ground at all.
The rain has stopped recently and the water level has been visibly dropping.
Tu Ling felt that it was time to change the way of living in this world, otherwise when the rainy season came, it would be like a flood, which would definitely not be acceptable.
